Best Campgrounds near Oasis, UT

Dispersed camping opportunities abound near Oasis, Utah, with several free sites located in the surrounding public lands. The Pahvant Valley Heritage Trail Dispersed camping area provides a highly-rated primitive camping experience with both drive-in and walk-in access. Other notable dispersed options include Whiskey Creek Road USFS Dispersed and Dispersed Sandy Lot, which accommodate tent camping with minimal amenities. For those seeking more developed facilities, established campgrounds like Fillmore KOA offer full hookups, showers, and accommodations ranging from tent sites to cabins and glamping options.

Road conditions vary significantly throughout the region, with many dispersed sites requiring travel on unpaved forest roads. High clearance vehicles may be necessary to access more remote camping areas, particularly along West Fork 8 Mile Road and Whiskey Creek Road. One camper noted, "I found a spot on Eight Mile road, just off i-15, near the east side of the national forest. I drove up the dirt road for a while until I found a nice flat spot for the night." Most dispersed sites in the area permit fires but lack amenities such as drinking water, toilets, or trash service. Cell service can be spotty in canyon areas but surprisingly good at some higher elevation sites, with one reviewer reporting "3+ bars of T-mobile 5g service" at their remote location.

Campers consistently rate the solitude and natural setting as highlights of dispersed camping in this region. The landscape features a mix of desert terrain, mountain views, and occasional creek access. Several visitors mentioned sharing their camping areas with local cattle, creating a unique rural experience. "There was NO one there except one guy that road by on his UTV and then eventually packed up and left right before sun down," reported one camper at West Fork 8 Mile Road. For those preferring more amenities, the established campgrounds near Fillmore provide convenient access to services while still offering scenic mountain backdrops. The Fillmore KOA receives positive reviews for its "large grassy sites, full hookups, pool, bathrooms and free showers," making it a comfortable alternative to the more primitive dispersed options throughout the region.

    Richfield KOA

    Nice, conveniently located KOA

    We needed an overnight stop after heading south from the Heber Valley. We arrived at the KOA just as the office was closing but the staff member showed me the after hours sites I could pick. We picked a site in a sunny area in what seems to be a newer area of the park. The pool is closed for the season and the staff member mentioned the park closes for the season soon. The real draw of this park seems to be people with ATVs (not us) as there is a gate at the back for trail access. More important to me were clean bathrooms and a quiet area. It is far enough off the highway that there is no road noise.

    Wagons West RV Campground

    Friendly couple manager

    We liked our site close to every thing. Lots of full timers and ATVs. Laundromat is open to locals so lots of traffic but clean, well kept. Food truck next door. Good for overnight on way to Zion

    Antelope Valley RV Park

    Nice with a couple caveats

    This is a large, nicely kept, clean RV park with water, electrical 30 amp and 50 amp and sewer. Showers are available at no cost and laundry is available for $2.50 per wash and $2.50 per dry. The biggest problem is using the laundry. It’s necessary to download an app which is complicated and irritating then you have to load the app with money. I’m pretty tech savvy but this frustrated me. an overnight day is approximately $55 a night and I’ve heard a rumor that there’s no cash or checks allowed. Use of a credit card requires a fee.

    Meadow Hot Springs

    Fantastic Find in a Farmer’s Field

    Warm, clear water in a field. this a great spot. We had to park in the main “lot” because the road was too rough. No trash. Donate and please keep it clean!

    Mountain Mecca

    Need high clearance and 4x4

    Venture RV Richfield

    Overnight stay on my road trip to Moab

    This RV park offers pull through spaces perfect for if you’re pulling a motorhome and a trailer or a bigger rig set up nice right off the highway stopped for one night, easy in and easy out however it is by an airport so there’s a little noise at night, not too bad

    Fishlake National Forest Oak Creek Rec Site

    Peaceful, shady, decent

    Located in a quiet area with plenty of shade. Nice pavilion and pretty clean grounds (at least when I visited). The main two things I didn't like was that the water from the in-ground spigots smelled and tasted like pool water and was also not ice cold (I love nice, ice-cold drinking water). The tap water in the bathroom also smelled like pool water. Otherwise, it's pretty nice.

    Meadow Hot Springs

    Beautiful open field views with hot springs

    3 pools total, but only one just above warm temperature. Each pool also has fish, which is a sight to be seen. The pools are amazing to look at and there are trash cans that are here next to each.

You can camp in the lava tube they are warm in the winter and it is a fun place to explore. This is close to the hot pots and we stay here in the fall or spring," notes camper Brad B.

Visit nearby hot springs: Several camping areas provide convenient bases for hot spring exploration. "Very unique and cool spot. Close to hot pots and great hiking areas," reports Becky J. about the Pahvant Valley area.

What campers like

Solitude and quiet: Fish Lake National Forest Campsite offers peaceful dispersed camping despite its proximity to I-15. "Really quiet despite being so close to the interstate," notes Kristy B. Another camper mentioned, "There was one other camper and it was very quiet."

Wildlife encounters: Many campers report sharing space with local wildlife. At the Whiskey Creek Road USFS Dispersed site, one reviewer notes camping was "Quiet and peaceful" and "No one to be seen for miles." At other sites, cattle are common neighbors during certain seasons.

Mountain views: Oak Creek Recreation Site offers scenic mountain backdrops. "It is nestled in a canyon in the Fishlake National Forest," writes Dennis C., who discovered the campground by accident while traveling east along US-50. He adds it "must be the best kept secret in western Utah for camping."

What you should know

Cell service varies dramatically: Service depends on terrain and elevation. At West Fork 8 Mile Road sites, one camper reported having "3+ bars of T-mobile 5g service" despite being in a remote location.

Water availability is limited: Most dispersed sites lack potable water. The Oak Creek Recreation Site provides water, but quality varies. One camper noted, "The water from the in-ground spigots smelled and tasted like pool water and was also not ice cold."

Road conditions require planning: Many dispersed sites require traveling on unpaved roads of varying quality. At Sandy Lot dispersed site, "Access is easy on and off from a gravel road. Campers, RVs, and people with tents can easily use this site," according to Randy C.

Seasonal considerations: Weather can change rapidly in this area. One camper at Oak Creek noted, "We had temps dip down into the teens overnight with a dusting of snow in late September, be sure to pack layers."

Tips for camping with families

Look for established sites with facilities: The Antelope Valley RV Park offers showers and laundry facilities. "This is a large, nicely kept, clean RV park with water, electrical 30 amp and 50 amp and sewer. Showers are available at no cost and laundry is available," notes Karen W.

Plan for temperature fluctuations: Given the elevation, nights can be cold even when days are warm. Pack accordingly, especially with children. "We had temps dip down into the teens overnight with a dusting of snow in late September, be sure to pack layers," advises one Oak Creek camper.

Educational opportunities: The area offers unique learning experiences for kids. At Whiskey Creek Road, Chula R. reports, "Kids enjoyed exploring and climbing the small trees," and the elevated position allowed for "nice views and a breeze."

Tips from RVers

Best overnight stops: For those traveling through on I-15, convenient options exist. One camper at Fillmore KOA stayed in "site 33 which was great because we didn't have to unhook our tow vehicle and you have no one looking in your front windshield."

Road access considerations: For larger rigs, stick to established campgrounds. The Oak Creek campground accommodates "small campers max, no RV parking or hookups," according to one reviewer.

Hookup availability: Full service options are limited but available. Fillmore KOA offers "large grassy sites, full hookups, pool, bathrooms and free showers," making it suitable for longer stays with larger rigs.
